A mother who loves her child with all her self is only so far from the hatchet anyway; one casual swing and it’s done. Hatred, love, all muddled up in the space inside a whisper, when the words don’t matter anymore, when the baby’s half asleep and you can carry it all the way there if you want, on nothing but the tone of your voice. When the bough breaks the cradle will fall. Sing it as softly as you like—the words clench their own teeth. The child still falls.

So much work went into this...!

So a little while ago @flckrsoflight hand bound The Legend of Charro and I'm still so beside myself that I can hardly touch it, let alone read it. But every now and then I have enough courage to just look at it. 😂

It has the most beautiful detailing and honey-themed pages when you open her up. Bookbinding is such a mysterious art to me (@betweentwoceremonials is another sorceress who can bind!) and when I see this being done I'm always blown away by what a patient, delicate craft it is.

Thank you so much for sending me a copy, @flckrsoflight . There's a little magic on my shelf now, and I'm not sure I can ever really articulate just how happy and humbled you made me! Mwah ilu!!! 😭💚

And thank you also for the fun Driftersverse themed stickers! 🩵🧡💙

Thank you @pettson for the tag!

I've been obsessing over Phoebe's music again and tbh two songs here are kinda random bc I used to put on playlists

This isn't surprising honestly but then again I rarely listen to music on spotify so it's average? And I got the vampire one

You're welcome! I'm not sure if this covers nonverbal cues, as it focuses on interactions in CMC, but like I said, it's a good place to start! https://blogs.commons.georgetown.edu/cctp-505-fall2009/files/computer-mediated-communication23.pdf

Yaaaay you are too good to me! A place to start is all I need--I can pull on the thread from there and see what unravels. Thank you, thank you!

Arien's Advent Calendar

25 Days of TLOU fic

All claims now taken, thank you!

To say thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of my fic this past year (where I rather explosively started writing every day again after a long slump) I’d like to invite you all to the Arien Advent Calendar!

From 1 - 25 December I will be posting a short story (it will be short, I will control myself) as part of a collection of works from Driftersverse, Snowqueen and The Legend of Charro.

This is where you guys come in! Beneath the cut I have a little information about the story to be written each day (universe, characters and date/era). I’d like to dedicate each to a reader, so please claim one and I’ll write it for you.

I don’t think all days will fill up, but I’d like to give everyone a chance to get one they really like, so at this stage each person can claim ONE day only - I’ll open it up to more later on. You’re welcome to send me a few in order of preference in case someone has already beaten you to the punch on your favourite, and I haven’t yet updated the list.

If you would rather claim as anon, please give me a name or an emoji or something - just so I can identify you against your chosen day and so we don’t get all our anons muddled up.

Please send claims via asks so I can keep track of them in one place and if not anon, include your AO3 name (if you have one).

Happy Holidays!

Hi, lovely! Here’s some for the ask game. 🍓🥤🌻🪐

Hi friend, happy Saturday 🤲🏼❤ thank u lots for the ask! I always get bored haha

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

This is funny because I've always been a creative kid, so I would create my own stories inside my head and they eventually turned into some of the shows/books I liked- sometimes a mixture- and at the time I didn’t know that was called fanfiction! I have the vivid memory of snatching my mom's lavender Nokia cellphone to write in a notes app, that happened until I fell into the role-playing world for years and that only cemented my love for it, I fully got into writing seriously around five years since that but never posted, it was for that same group of friends only. So that's my backstory! I had given up on it for a number of reasons but I'm back in the fanfiction pit lol

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

Since I've been a tessjoel girlie from the beginning I'm pulling some of the hidden gems on FF dot net that some new fans may not know! These are all videogame tlou.

Starting with one of my favorite fics EVER (it is a habit to reread it monthly) written by Raff who is a legend and was a pioneer for them. This is an au that's technically canon compliant for the tone, a very straight-forward summary: Ellie is Tess and Joel's daughter, this is the little glimpses of how they raise her in the QZ:

@kokureno and I gush over this particular fic nonstop, college au with romcom elements, what's not to love?

This one is a curious case because while I read it previously, my mind was blown away when I finally read Dirt (also recommend it) then came back to it. Tess and Joel share a vulnerable moment and Tess realizes there is more to him than what she thought, pretty spot on character analysis:

This one is a Tess lives au AND a babyfic, and you know how hard it used to be to find babyfics for them specifically? Aside from signs (originally from FFnet), I wasn't that lucky and this was a blessing:

Someone said missing scene fic about a very necessary topic aka Joel and Ellie bringing up Tess during their journey? The old man HAS feelings??? Anyway, this is 100% canon to me:

This one is for those who are fans of Tess’s backstory in the old tlou storyline where she was the main antagonist/villain, which means she had a brother who was killed; in my heart this will always be her OG origin story honestly. Plus, Joel also opens up about his own loss:

Don't you love it when there's a recurring theme in your fic???? Tess and Joel's lives when they're running out of time, Tommy appears too, canon compliant:

Okay this one is on AO3 too, I get that, however I first found it here and anyway it has now been buried so! I'm showing it again. Tess's centered fic were a rarity so I know this one like the back of my hand, the most juicy gritty QZ life angst, it's also an origin story about her AND a character study, go wild:

Another one on AO3, but hear me out this IS them at their true core and a required reading for everyone to understand them and their dynamic perfectly, it's pretty sad and there's not much comfort but that's why it's so good. Also, the queen herself (amb) wrote it and this is my special dedication to her bc she cemented this Fandom alongside Raff and she's the best at pulling our heartstrings:

Those are some of my favs. I can't include every single one cause it would take me ages but there are so many more there that are worth a read. If you love them most at their ambiguous nature, the early fics filled the void and nurtured the mind.

🌻 ⇢ tag someone you appreciate but don't talk to on a regular basis

A really talented artist around here who's outstanding at what she does, ily chica @betweentwoceremonials

🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now

Last year I had an awful infection and it took me a while to get rid of it, but I did some medical analysis a few weeks ago and now I'm fine 🥳

This spot is for the people I love and love me in return, I never take it for granted!

Not to get too pessimistic bc I try to keep it light but I never thought I would reach my 20s and yet- I'm still here, and I'm proud of myself for it

replied to your post

“betweentwoceremonials replied to your post:me trying to sort out some...”

Hahaha wtf, it wasn't? I am so not updated with awards season lol. Frustrated graphic artist in me cried so much internally I cannot fathom how you can watch this in a cinema without a pause button to just gawk at the art. Also gosh, Hispanic culture is so close to ours. This Catholic yet uniquely different portrayal of the afterlife gives me exquisite chest pain and this is just a cartoon gdi. Thanks for reblogging meta about it!!!!

No worries! Thanks for reading that clusterheck of a post though, though it was more of a feelings dump than meta. >.< 

And yes gosh animation tends to give me more emotions than other things idk why I'm just a trainwreck after. (ι´Д｀)ﾉ
